It's only logical though. I mean you have a 5'11" qb trying to do what no one really has done before him at that size. Atop of that he was a rookie, looking pretty bad sometimes, going through natural rookie growth to what he's been doing for many games now all in a single season. It's amazing from any angle.

btw, why the link to the one Bills fan saying he won't ever be an elite qb?

LOL I just spent my entire evening reading that thread from the beginning.. that was funny as hell. I am thinking about making an account there just to talk with those guys..I loved that Missile launcher for an arm comment.

I especially liked the comments later from the op regarding yea but wait until defenses start figuring him out in a few years. What, like 10-15 yrs down the road they might start slowing him down, lmao.

Why oh why do people insist on the moniker RW3? He is not Russell Wilson the 3rd!!!!. Now before people start screaming about how it's Russell Wilson with his number added, I was watching an interview of some Seahawks fan in Atlanta the day before the game. He was wearing a Browner Jersey and he said some idiotic comment about all the love for his man RW3 "Russell Wilson the third". Yes he actually said the words Russell Wilson the third. Can we PLEASE stop using this for our quarterback? There is but one Russell Wilson.

Edit: Typed Seahawks fan in Seattle, had to correct it as it was a Seahawks fan in Atlanta who had flown in for the game

This. I've heard the "it's his number" and "Chris Paul did the same" argument and feel it's stupid. Chris Paul did it cuz it rhymed (P and 3).Incidentally, I feel that's one of the main reasons that Robert Griffin got it (G and 3). Unless I'm not pronouncing the 'W' correctly, I don't think that it rhymes with three.

He's been a monster at home, but he is on a team that averages 4 less points than the Bills. The Seahawks have scored 30 points once this season. The Bills have scored 30+ twice and lost. I know we have to hate Fitz but Wilson would have zero difference on our season. It's all about Seattle's defense and our lack of one. Long term, Wilson's ceiling is higher but not this season.

Was an interesting walk through the season from another fan base perspective. There is no need to break into their conversation to rub it in. Wilson already has his supporters there along with skeptics.

Graham sucked. Wilson took his team to the playoffs. NY 33 has zero credibility.

True. Fluke game against GB due to scab refs. Yeah, they may still have got in... BUT without another fluke win against Chicago... They are looking in from the outside...

What makes Mr. Wonderful's post so funny, is that the Bills took TJ Graham in the 3rd round, an NC State reciever. So, you KNOW that the Bills GM spent lots of time watching Wilson throw the ball to Graham. What a whiff that was--to see how good TJ was with Wilson v. his last season and still pass on Wilson. (Although, Graham cannot be considered a bust yet, even though he only caught 30 passes last season).

Outside opinions don't mean a whole lot. Unfortunately, the kid probably doesn't have much of a future left in the NFL after his second ACL surgery. And the blame for that falls squarely on Snyder's shoulders, as well as the stupid decision to trade away a few years worth of draft picks for him. I still have no idea why they had him out there playing against the Seahawks last week. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
